Lists

Many screens in OctoPerf feature lists of items that you can interact with. The purpose of this section is to walk you through all the possible interactions:

• Sorting
• Global actions
• Contextual actions
• Filters

Warning

Actions performed inside lists cannot be reverted, in particular some of the bulk actions can have consequences all over your test project.

Sorting

A single click on any column name will activate it as a sorting criteria over the previous one or cycle through the possible orders:

1. Ascending order
2. Descending order
3. No order

The available criteria depend on the nature of the list.

Info

Sorting can be combined with Filters to further enhance the readability.

Global Actions

Next to the list name you will find actions that are not tied to a particular element of the list, such as creating a new item, or bulk removal/edition. If there is more than one action it will be presented in a drop down menu like the above screenshot. Please refer to each list documentation page for more information on what these actions do.

Contextual actions

If you hover your mouse on an element of the list you can see its contextual actions. These usually involve editing/removing said element.

Selecting one or several elements will also show the contextual actions that can be applied to all of them on top of the list. This is especially useful to bulk remove elements.

Warning

Holding the CTRL key while performing actions will bypass the confirmation messages, use it at your own risks.

Filters

A lot of the various views or panels in OctoPerf present lists that can be filtered in several ways. This section is a general guide on how to use simple or advanced search features.

Simple Search

Simply type some text to check if one of the objects in the list contains your search string.

Use this icon to switch to advanced mode.

Warning

The search is done on the entire objects, to avoid false positives try to use distinctive search terms.

Advanced Search

Click on + Add filter to select the metadata you want to use for your filter. The metadatas nature and number varies depending on the type of objects being displayed in the list.

Use this icon to clear all existing filters and switch back to simple mode.

Next you need to configure the filter with one of the following options:

• Starts with: The metadata starts with the specified value.
• Equals: The metadata is equal to the specified value.
• Contains: The metadata contains the specified value.

Use ignore case for a case insensitive matching.
